This invention relates to gloves orv any other class of hand coveringand particularly to the provision of a pocket in the glove in whichchange and other small articles may 5 be stored for convenientaccessibility; and the object of the invention is to provide an improvedpocket construction consisting of relatively movable parts with meansfor coupling said parts together to close the open end of i the pocket,and said parts permitting of the formation of a comparatively largeopening controlling admission to the pocket to facilitate the easyremoval of the articles con tained in the pocket and also the placement'i5 of the articles therein; a further object being to provide a pocketof the class described comprising overlapping wall members, both ofwhich engage one part of a fastening device in coupling said memberstogether to 20 close a pocket opening; a further object being to providea pocket of the class described, at least one part of which is formedintegral with one of the glove forming members and which may be formedfrom two of said mem- 25 bers by the use of anadditional Vpart orsection and with these and other objects in view, the invention consistsin av glove of the class and for the purpose specified, which is simplein construction, eficient Vin use, and

"7 30 which is constructed as hereinafter described and claimed. Y

f The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification,` ofwhich the accompanying drawing forms a part, in which the "35 separateparts of my improvement are designated by suitable reference charactersin each of the views, and in which Fig. 1 is a plan view ofthe palmportion of a glove showing one form of my improved Fig. 1 but showopenposition; and,

Fig. 5 is a view similar to Fig. 2 but showing another modification.

In the several figures of the accompanying '50 drawing, 10 'represents'the main body portion of the glove from which the four fingers, palm andwrist portion of the glove are formed, and 11 the thumb forming portion.The thumb forming portion extends to the stitched side l0a of the gloveto form a palm portion 11a.v It will be understood that the glovestructure comprising the parts and 11 may be made in the usual or anydesired manner, and may be of any preferred type of hand covering suchas mittens, drivinkg gloves, dress gloves, work gloves and the li e.

In the structure shown in Figs. l to 3 in* clusive, the palm portion1()b of the glove is cut out on the lines 12 from the base of the fingerportion and a part of the thumb portion to a point adjacent the stitchedside 10a as seen at 12"L to form thereof a flap 13 having one part 14 ofa snap fastening device. In this construction, an insert piece 15 isarranged upon the thumbl part 11 and is stitched thereto on the line ofstitching 15a and extends upwardly to the base of the finger portion ofthe glove and is stitched thereto as is also the palm portion 11a of theglove on the line of stitching 16. The free edge of the insert 15 formsa flap 17 which lies under the palm portion 10b or the flap 13 thereofas clearly seen in Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawing, and this insert has anaperture or opening 18 which passes over a knob of the other part 19 ofthe snap fastener so that when the two parts 14 and 19 are broughttogether with the flaps 13 and 17 in the position shown in Fig. 1, theflap 17 is secured in position closing the pocket 20 formed within `andbetween the parts 10b, 15 and 11a.

The pocket is shown in its open position in Fig. 2, with the iiaps 13and 17 folded backwardly, thus lproviding a large opening, permittingthe placement of two or more lingers of the hand into the pocket 20 tofacilitate the removal of articles therefrom. It will be understood thatthe lower end of the palm portion 11a is stitched to the glove 10 asindicated by the line of stitching 21, and thus the palm portion 112Lbecomes a-n integral structure with the body 10 of the glove proper inaddition to the thumb portion 1l.

In the construction shown in Fig. 4 of the drawing, the palm portion l1aof the part 11 is stitched to the glove part l() in addition to thestitching at 10a by stitchings 22 arranged adjacent the base of thefinger portion of the glove, and stitchings 23 at the wrist portion ofthe glove, the latter closing the lower end of the ocket 24 formedwithin and between the pa m portion l1a and the palm portion lb of thepart 10. In this construction, the palm portiony b is free at its sideedge 25, the stitching shown being merely for the purpose of forming areinforced edging, and this free edge 25 is cut angularly on the line 26toward the center of the palm portion of the glove to form of the palmportion l0", two fla s 27 and 28,. The flap 2 8 is shown tnrnedackwardly and is provided with one part 29 of a snap yfastener aday tedto engage the other part 30 secured to t e palmy portion 1l of the thumbpart l1 of the glove. In this construction, an eXtension piece 27 isattached to the flap 27 andl lies under theflap 28 and is provided withan aperture 31 to` pass over the knob of the snap fastener 30 so as tosecure, both flaps 27 and 28 in position when the part 29 of the snapfastener is brought into engagement with the part 30. This also closesthe pocket 24 as will be apparent. The extension piece 27a of courseconstitutes part of the flap 27 and is also foldable backwardly toprovide a large o ening controlling admission to the pocket 2, which inthisconstruction is arranged between the parts 10b and 11a.

In the construction shown in Fig. 5 of theV drawing, the palm portion10'. of the glove has free side portions 32 and 33 and a free endportion 34 forming a substantially tongue-like member provided at itsfree end with the knob member 35 of a snap fastener.

In this construction, two insert pieces 36 and 37 are arranged betweenthe palm portions 10" and 11 and are secured respectively to the edges32-33 of the palm portion 10b and to the palm portion 1()a as seen at 38and 39 respectively, thus forming the pocket 40. rIhe insert pieces 36and 37 are preferably folded centrally to collapse the same and also toform a compartively large opening to the pocket 40, which in thisconstruction is arranged between the parts IOL-1la and the insert pieces36 and 37. I also provide the closure flap 42 which constitutes aneXtension of the wrist portion ofthe glove or the part l() thereofl Thisflap carries the other part 4l of the snap fastener which engages thepart 35 in closing the pocket 40.

rIhe distinctive feature of the several forms of construction abovedescribed resides in providing a comparatively large opening givingaccess to the pocket of the glove, facilitating the easy placement ofarticles into said `olret and the removaly of articles. thererom. Whilethese pockets are preferably arranged in the palm portion of the glooveand are opened in the direction disclosed, it will be understood thatthe same may be located on any part of thc gloove structure and may openin any desired direction to suit the particular type oi glove as well asthe specific use of the pocket.

Various other changes in and modifications of the construction hereinshown and described may be made within the scope of the appended claimswithout departing from the spirit of my invention or sacrificing itsadvantages.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is
